Okay guys the moment is finally here its time for me to write about the most spoken about vitamin supplement of the decade. I’ve had a couple of lifelong friends call me and ask me about this supplement. Some people call it a tumerin some call it tumeric others even call it mustard powder I call it Curcumin. Once you start reading about this supplement you’ll discover a world of astonishing benefits this supplement has.

Curcumin is mostly known as a food flavoring or spice commonly used in curry recipes and is considered to be in the ginger family. However this article is not about its cullinary use but about its use as an essential and vital supplement in our lives.

Although theres a lot of controversy accompanied with this supplement many countries in Asia as well as India have used this for hundreds of years for its medicinal proprerties. It is believed to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and perhaps even anti-cancer properties.

But what is most impressive is that in recent studies it shows that it improves memory loss including diseases such as Alzheimer’s. It’s known that inflammation and oxidative damage play a role in Alzheimer’s disease, and curcumin has beneficial effects on both.

Further studies show that it also helps with the circulatory system including the heart. In short the benefits are endless. There are countless other research underway showing its efficacy in curring or preventing other ailments.

However there is a giant set back and it’s that it’s bioavailability, in other words the way that the body absorbs this spice into the bloodstream is very difficult. Most of the curcumin taken in is excreted and not absorbed by the body.

It helps to consume black pepper with it, which contains piperine, a natural substance that enhances the absorption of curcumin by 2,000%.
There are some labs nowadays that are making a Curcumin compound that is bioavailable by means of using piperine.
